Alumroot Interesting Notes

Versatility is the hallmark of this beautiful alumroot. Rounded, light green leaves with a velvety texture make a bold statement in the garden. Creamy, white flower spikes up to 2’ tall emerge from late summer to frost and are perfect for cutting. Mounded, semi-evergreen plants can reach 15" tall and function well as a groundcover. Though happiest in shade and evenly moist soils, Autumn Bride hairy alumroot will tolerate some sun and is quite drought tolerant. It also maintains excellent foliage quality throughout the growing season. For late season interest, integrate it with Chelone glabra, Ageratina altissima ‘Chocolate’, Eurybia divaricata, Chrysogonum virginianum, and Carex flaccosperma. - Mt. Cuba Center

This is a super tough plant for dry shade. It has fuzzy light green leaves and white flowers in late summer/ early autumn. It is great for covering bases of trees or other spots that get little moisture. Strong grower that deserves a lot more use in our area. This gets about 15-18" tall and 18' wide. Only problem we have ever seen with this plant, as with any heuchera, is with weevils. Watch for notched foliage and treat accordingly. An established plant is strong enough to overcome them. - GardenNJ.com

Grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soil in full to partial shade. Foliage is more distinct in shade, but can be grown in full sun if adequate moisture is provided. Divide clumps every 3-4 years. May be raised by seed as well. Deadhead to extend flowering season. Use as a edging plant in perennial beds or to add interest to the woodland garden.
